NEW YORK (AP) -- More than 15,000 toy police cars are being recalled because it can come apart and pose a possible choking risk to kids.

The Police Press & Go toy car is a white and blue plastic car with the head of a police officer coming out of the roof. When the head is pressed down, the car moves forward on its own. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said it received one report of the blue hat on the police officer's head coming off. No injuries were reported.
